The First Thanksgiving

I am not going to lie, I never though of myself as dumb.....BUT after teaching a few months of first grade I am just plain and simply dumb!  I have learned so much this year!!!  Seriously!!!!  So we are studying the First Thanksgiving......I had no idea about it and the details, last night at dinner I quizzed Brad and it went something like this:

How many people came over on the Mayflower?
How many people died?
what did they eat?
How long were they on the Mayflower?
Why were they leaving England?
How long were they in America before they talked to the Indians?
Why were they scared of the Indians?
How long did the Indians and Pilgrims stay true to the Peace Treaty they signed?
Did the Chief Indian speak English?
the Indians that spoke English how did they learn it?
brad said the only thing he knew was what was on Charlie Browns Thanksgiving TV show!  

this is just a small example of everything I have learned so it pretty much sums it up.....I am learning more then Emmie!!!!

"You called and found out the results?"  I told him I didn't and his smile got bigger :)  He still didn't tell us he did a few coordination tests on Brad and sat down and said, "You have a Pilocytic Astrocytoma WHO Grade 1 tumor.....and if you have a brain tumor this is the type of tumor you want to have!" YA!!!! Here are the details:  -Brad has had this tumor for a long time, something happened that weekend he had the bad headaches that caused the tumor to bleed.....that's why no one was sure if it was a brain bleed or tumor. -The pathologist at the hospital could not determine what it was so it was sent off to Cleveland clinic for another set of eyes. -The brain bleed is what was causing the headache and pain not...

Saturday the 29th of March ........Brad coached basketball for the youth at church and came home at 1pm and said, I have a headache.   He took some Motrin.   No big deal! Sunday the 30th of March .......woke up for church and he said he had a headache! took Motrin, went to church came home and slept until 5pm when we were having friends over for dinner. Monday and Tuesday ......went to work late, came home, did not eat dinner, went to bed.   Cried about how bad his head hurt and thought it might explode.   He kept teasing saying he had a tumor and we were all laughing at him about being a big baby.....everyone gets headaches and don't have tumors. Wednesday April 2 - Went to work and called me at noon saying he couldn't work anymore and came home.   I told him he...
